Good place for the price.
"Easy check in and out. Our room was clean but you can tell this place is a bit outdated. Pluses are the free parking, showers with great pressure, nice staff. For the price, you really can't get any better for the area. I would stay again."

Cost of living extremely expensive and don't do enough for minorities and Austin is to greedy to feed the needy. Not really impressed when your city sucks the life out of you and wants you to accept it and be happy.

Outside of Austin city limits is beautiful, but downtown Austin was terrible, dirty and I wouldn't stay downtown.

We went when things were still pretty much shut down so there wasn't much to do. This was the day the protests and rioting/looting started as well. Luckily, we left 6th St minutes before a car was set on fire
